“An insert and a fastening arrangement for a structural support member”
The present invention relates to an insert for mounting a structural support member, and more particularly, although not exclusively, for mounting structural support members connected to or between girders, joists or other frame parts in a building construction. The invention further relates to a fastening arrangement for securing one or a pair of structural support members to a building frame member.
Building constructions are known to use elongate support members to prevent frame parts, such as girders or joists, from bowing and/or deforming due to pulling forces operating between the frame parts. The elongate support members typically comprise male and female threaded ends which are connected to secure the support member between the frame parts.
However, such known structural support members suffer from the drawback that they are very time consuming to install since personnel are required to manually rotate the ends to ensure full engagement of the male and female threads. In practice, personnel might have to perform some twenty to thirty rotations of the ends to ensure that the male thread is fully and securely connected with the female threaded receiving end. Another approach may be to weld the ends together, but this is also time and resource consuming, and so is equally problematic.
The present invention provides an improved insert for a structural member that goes at least some way toward overcoming the above problems and/or which will provide the public and/or industry with a useful alternative.
According to the invention, there is provided an insert for mounting a structural support member to a building frame member, the insert comprising:
a main body in which an internal region is defined, the main body comprising an opening to the internal region and a screw thread is provided in the internal region distal from the opening for receiving a threaded end of a rod, and an engaging member is provided within the internal region, the engaging member comprising rod engaging means operable to permit lateral movement of the threaded end of the rod through the internal region for engagement with the screw thread and to bear on the surface of and grip the inserted rod to prevent release from the main body when the threaded end is engaged with the screw thread.
The present invention provides an insert for an end of a structural member having an engaging member within an internal region of the insert. Rod engaging means of the engaging member permits movement of the threaded end of the rod into the insert for engagement with a screw thread. The rod engaging means bears on the surface of and grips the inserted rod to prevent release from the insert when the threaded end is engaged in the screw thread. In use, the present invention provides a reduction in the number of turns of the screw thread required in the insert, and the number of manual rotations needed, to secure the rod to a structural member to thereby provide stability to frame parts, such as girders or joists, and prevent from bowing and/or deforming due to pulling forces operating between the frame parts.
The engaging member may be provided in the internal region of the main body between the opening and the screw thread.
A receiving slot is formed in the internal surface of the main body, and the engaging member is held in the receiving slot.

One or both of: one or more male connector parts and female connector parts are provided on mating surfaces of the interconnecting halves, whereby the or each male part engages with the or each female part to connect the halves together.
Alternatively, the main body may be integrally formed as single piece.
The insert may be made from one or combinations of a polymer, a metal or a metal alloy.
There is also provided a fastening arrangement for securing a structural support member to a building frame member, the fastening arrangement comprising an insert mounted in an end of the structural support member wherein, the threaded end of the rod is configured to pass through the building frame member and into the insert to secure the structural member to the building frame member.
There is further provided fastening arrangement for securing a pair of structural support members to a building frame member, the fastening arrangement comprising an insert according to any of the preceding claims, the fastening arrangement comprises a rod retaining insert configured with an internal region to accommodate a head end of rod and an open end configured such that the threaded end of the rod extends out of the open end, in which the rod retaining insert is mounted in an end of the first structural support member and the threaded insert is mounted in an end of a second structural member, wherein, the threaded end of the rod is configured to pass through the building frame member and into the threaded insert to secure the structural members to the building frame member.

In the instance shown in the Figs, the main body 4 is formed from two interconnecting halves 17 operable to be joined together, although it will be understood that the main body 4 may be formed as a single unitary part if desired or required. One or more male connector parts 18 and female connector parts 19 are provided on mating surfaces 20 of the interconnecting halves 17, whereby the or each male part 18 engages with the or each female part 19 to connect the halves 17 together. At least one groove 25 may be formed in an outer surface of the main body 4, the groove 25 configured and dimensioned to receive and engage with a complimentary rib 26 formed on an inner surface of the structural support member 2 to further secure the insert in the end of the structural support member 2. In use the insert 1 may deform on entry to the structural support member 2 to enable the or each rib to slidingly engage in a respective groove or grooves on the insert 1.
An engaging member 10 is provided within the internal region 5 and comprises rod engaging means 11 operable to permit lateral movement of the threaded end 8 of the rod 9 into the main body through the opening 6 and the internal region 5 for engagement with the screw thread 7. The engaging member 10 is adapted to bear on the surface of and grip the inserted rod 9 to prevent release from the main body 4 when the threaded end 8 is engaged with the screw thread 7. The rod engaging means 11 comprises a plurality of substantially radially inwardly projecting teeth 12 that extend in the same direction away from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) of the main body
4. The teeth 12 are angled away from the open end 6 toward the screw thread 7 and grip the end of the rod 9 inserted into the main body 4 to prevent the rod 9 from being pulled out of and released from the insert, such as due to pulling forces acting on the inserted rod 9. In the instance shown in Fig. 3, the engaging member 10 may be provided as a push lock fastener or push lock washer, however it will understood that other configurations are envisaged and reference to a push lock washer should not be seen as limiting.
As shown, the engaging member 10 is disposed in the internal region 5 of the main body 4 between the opening and the screw thread 7 in a receiving slot 13 formed in the internal surface 22 of the main body 4, and the engaging member 10 is held in the receiving slot 13. In an alternative configuration the engaging member 10 may integrally formed in the main body 4 such that the rod engaging means 11 comprises a plurality of substantially radially inwardly projecting teeth 12 that extend from the internal surface of the main body 4.
As shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b), the threaded insert 1 may also be configured with a plurality of engaging members 10 arranged in a spaced apart configuration within the internal region 5 of main body 4. In such a configuration a plurality of radial receiving slots 13 are formed in the internal surface 22 of the main body 4, each for retaining an engaging member 10.
The threaded insert 1 is made from one or combinations of a polymer, a metal or a metal alloy.
As shown in Fig. 1(a), in use, the insert 1 is configured from interconnecting halves 17, the engaging member 10 is initially positioned in the slot 13. As shown in Figs. 1(b) and 1(c), the mating surfaces 20 of the interconnecting halves 17 are aligned and joined by connecting complimentary male parts 18 with female parts 19 to form the insert 1.
As shown in Figs. 1(d) and 1(e), the insert 1 is positioned in the end 15 of the structural support member 2 and the shoulder portion 16 of the insert 1 is configured, in use, to sit on an outer edge of the end 15 when inserted.
Figs. 4(a) to 4(d) show stages in a fastening arrangement for securing a pair of structural support members 2a, 2b to a building frame member 3, such as a girder, joist or other frame part, in a building construction, using the threaded insert 1 inserted in the end 15 of the structural support member 2. Such a fastening arrangement further comprises using a rod retaining insert 21 configured with an internal region 22 to accommodate a head end 23 of the rod 9 and having an open end, indicated generally by the reference numeral 24, configured such that the threaded end 8 of the rod 9 extends out of the open end 24. The rod retaining insert 21 is made from one or combinations of a polymer, a metal or a metal alloy, and may be configured with a main body formed from two connecting halves in the same way the threaded insert 1 may be configured. The rod retaining insert 21 could alternatively be formed as a single unitary part if desired or required. As with the threaded insert 1, at least one groove 25 may be formed in an outer surface of the rod retaining insert 21, the groove(s) 25 configured and dimensioned to receive and engage with a complimentary rib 26 formed on an inner surface of a structural support member to further secure the rod retaining insert 21 in the end of the structural support member 2.
As shown in Fig. 4(a), the rod retaining insert 21 having a bolt 9 therein is inserted in an end 15a of a first structural support member 2a and the threaded insert 1 is mounted in an end 15b of a second structural member 2b. The first structural member 2a and the second structural member 2b are offered up to the frame member 3, which in the instance shown is a flange member extending from a girder, joists or other frame part of a building construction (not shown) to be strengthened.
As shown in Fig. 4(b), the threaded end 8 of the bolt 9 extending out of the rod retaining insert 21 is aligned with and passed through the building frame member 3 and into the threaded insert 1. As shown in Fig. 4(c) the threaded end 8 is pushed further into the threaded insert so that it passes through the internal region 5 and the engaging member
10. As shown in Fig. 4(d), the threaded end 8 of the rod 9 is engaged with the screw thread by rotating one or both of the structural members 2a, 2b.
The rod engaging means 11 of the engaging member 10 is thus operable to permit lateral movement of the threaded end 8 of the rod 9 into the main body 4 through the opening 6 and the internal region 5 for engagement with the screw thread 7 and is adapted to bear on the surface of and grip the inserted rod 9 to prevent movement of the rod 9 out of the screw thread and release from the main body 4 when the threaded end 8 is engaged with the screw thread 7.
It will be understood that the present invention also provides a fastening arrangement for securing a single structural support member 2 to a building frame member 3, the fastening arrangement comprising mounting the threaded insert 1 in an end of the structural support member 2, and the threaded end 8 of the rod 9 is configured to pass through the building frame member 3 and into the threaded insert 1 to secure the structural member 2 to the building frame member 3. Accordingly, in there is no need for a rod retaining insert 21.
Figs. 5(a) and 5(b) shows a fastening arrangement for securing a pair of structural support members 2a, 2b to a building frame member 3 using the threaded insert 1 shown in Fig. 2(a) having a plurality of engaging members 10 and the method of fastening is as described with reference to Figs. 4(a) to 4(d). Use of such a plurality of engaging members 10 may provide additional support to resist pulling forces acting between the girders, joists or other frame parts of a building construction.
